he looks like a guy that bumped his head frequently from being too tall and now reflexively ducks all the time.

I was surprised they had Britt Baker just sitting up in the booth during the Nyla beatdown stuff. I figured she would have made the save to set up her claim to the title. Which is fine, Britt doesn't really excite me anyway.

AEW is a bunch of B- players

seriously, Dyanmite reminds me of the aesthetics of the late 90s RAWs. Chaotic segments, wild multimans to close the show. Could use some cage dancers and a DJ though.

Britt vs Riho seems like a logical heel turn to me. Britt comes down, saves Riho. then later they lose a tag match together and in the segment afterwards, Britt turns on Riho because "this is america and we don't like paper champs" or something kinda close to the maga knuckle.

Tony got away from all the toxic stuff in the business and healed up. Now he's back on his terms. I don't think JR and Tony were that committed to staying mad at each other.

got confirmation on this finally.

the jake hager deal requires him to supply the weed for the 420 tour bus and party areas. Otherwise his 2 year contract will be nullified. Jake and his weedman are trying to work it out, which was why Jake was visibly unhappy last night.

And this was NXT throwing literally everything, a Takeover for free at AEW. For half. Will next week's NXT be seen at all by anyone? It's doubtful.

I read the rundown, it sounded like a fun show but nothing earthbreaking. NXT's going to have to play 2nd fiddle to the new toy until either WWE loses their nerve and cancels or AEW starts to implode.

the writeup comes off like they stuck to the wrestling over segments more. That might help them out in the long if AEW continues to do awkward poo poo.

Be interesting to see if AEW stays hot if all WWE ratings start to dip as people decide they don’t need to get their wrestling fix from them anymore.

probably not. WWF was a late player in wrestling television and whatever economics affected the business as a whole got to them as well. I'd imagine the same type of historical trends would affect AEW as well.

Basically, pay attention if the US and UK are going to go cheek and jowl together into oblivion. That's gonna mess everything up.

I want to believe it was the sudden realization that everyone would be looking at his awful social media stuff. MMA folks tend not to pay much attention but prowres folks practically move into people’s homes. I now know way more amount wrestler’s bowel movements than I’d ever wanted.

DM Punk is a cool, weird dude that is respected in the indie scene. Prazak threw him a shoutout once.

Jim Ross is old as gently caress and sometimes his upbringing in racist america shows.

And Jack Swagger should apologize and offer his resignation for loving up AEW’s debut.

no one cared until he showed up on a huge rear end debut of a new wrasslin league. Since getting cut from WWE, dude spent his time between Bellator and Lucha Underground which combined viewership is like 1.5 TNAs.
